WE'VE BEEN A BIT QUIET ON THE WEBSITE RECENTLY...
BUT WE ARE STILL HERE AND WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES TO HELP "SAVE OUR CROWN MEADOWS"!

The meadows are certainly very, very wet right now and have never dried out since the big flooding almost a year ago.
They are almost like marshland.
I guess that's why they're termed a floodplain!
As a result there are many wetland birds taking advantage of this natural habitat. Swans and their young have also been coming into the meadows, to have a rest from the frequently much swollen and raging River Stour over the last few weeks!

YOUR VIEWS ARE STILL BEING ASKED FOR........In a recent Blandford Focus flyer from Councillors Barrie Cooper, Joe Hickish and John Tanner -
Councillor Barrie Cooper asks residents to have their say on the proposed development of the Crown Meadows by filling in the quick survey at the bottom of their flyer. Please see below.

However, if you are not able to post it due to cost or time constraints, you can email your comments to Councillor Barrie Cooper (County Councillor for Blandford and District Councillor for Blandford) at B.G.Cooper@dorset.cc.gov.uk
